MYSTERY OF THE WOLF

Director: RAIMO O. NIEMI

FINLAND / 2006 / 90 MIN / IN FINNISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES


An exciting eco-adventure story set in the snowy wilderness of Lapland. 12-year-old Salla lives in a small Finnish town with her adoptive parents. She loves nature and spends her time exploring the woods on her snowmobile. When her biological mother returns to the village, Salla starts to understand her own special connection with animals. One day she finds a family of wolves, and keeps them secret from local men who see them only as a threat to their reindeer farms. When she realises that she cannot protect the wolf on her own, Salla must look to her classmate Matias for help, and their adventure begins. Salla has to learn to listen to her instincts, rely on her new best friend, and even trust her long lost mother. An experienced reader will narrate the subtitles.
